The Virunga National Park lies from the Virunga Mountains, to the Rwenzori Mountains, in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, bordering Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda and Rwenzori Mountains National Park in Uganda. Covering 7,800 square kilometres it was established in 1925 as Africa‘s first national park. It was classified as a World Heritage Site in 1979. In later years it has become known for its mountain gorillas.
